Opposition to a political opinion is a valid political opinion.

You should lose your livelihood for having this political opinion is another valid political opinion, however distasteful.

However, there’s a big problem if you’re guaranteed to lose your livelihood when a handful of vocal individuals who otherwise have no associations with you whatsoever hold the aforementioned opinion.

Let’s just hope you’re never on the receiving end of it.

Too late. I joined up with the ACLU decades ago, long before there ever was a Twitter. So I've been a pariah for a long while and it doesn't bother me. The important thing is to maintain the civil liberties of each and every person in the United States.
